"The heart that loves is always young," (Greek proverb). This new blog on the block will highlight, discover, nurture, educate and promote multiculturalism through food! New Zealand's multicultural setting fuels the rise of new restaurants from different cultures. Back in the day, fish and chips shops and takeaways run by Chinese and Indian entrepreneurs, dominated the culinary landscape of Aotearoa New Zealand. But now there is a myriad of cuisines from all corners of the planet, name the country, and chances are there is a restaurant catering to that country's cuisine.

Migration is also instrumental in making Kiwis more appreciative of food from many nations. The traditional roast dinner has not been replaced really but new foods has been added like sushi, Pad Thai, nasi goreng, adobo, pork barbecue, and many more. Kiwis have become more adventurous in trying new dishes, and surprisingly liking them. The influx of overseas students from Asia, the Middle East, Pacific Islands, the Philippines, Africa, Europe and the Americas contributed to the rise and development of new places to eat. All of these factors will be featured and shared in this blog.
The culinary landscape of Aotearoa New Zealand has really changed. And only for the better---for the restaurant owners, food truck merchants, and most especially the Kiwis buying and enjoying all the yummy delicacies on offer! Truly a culinary experience of food from many nations!
